10. How long is the shelf life of your perfumes?
The duration a perfume lasts on the skin varies depending on fragrance notes, skin type, and external factors such as temperature and humidity. Generally, our perfumes last all day, typically between 6–12 hours. Heavier, more oil-based scents like oud, vanilla, or amber tend to last longer, while fresher citrus and aromatic notes may evaporate more quickly.
If you experience that the scent disappears quickly, it may be due to noseblindness, which means that your brain gets used to the scent and stops registering it. Please ask someone nearby to check if they still perceive the scent. If you have just received your perfume, you can also let it mature for up to two weeks – this allows the fragrance oils to blend better with the alcohol and stabilize, which can improve both the scent and longevity.
11. How do I store my perfume in the best way?
Store your perfume in a cool, dark, and dry place, such as in a drawer or a cabinet, to protect it from light, heat, and moisture. Avoid keeping it in the bathroom, as temperature fluctuations and humidity can affect the quality of the scent. Also, make sure the bottle is properly sealed when not in use, so that the fragrance is preserved for as long as possible.
12. What does it mean that a perfume needs to be massaged?
Maceration means that the perfume is allowed to mature after production. Right after a perfume is blended, the scent may be unbalanced or weaker than expected. By letting the perfume sit in a dark, cool place for at least two weeks, the fragrance notes have time to develop and blend properly, which can result in a deeper and more long-lasting scent.
13. What is noseblindness and can it affect how I perceive smell?
Noseblindness, or olfactory fatigue, means that your nose gets used to a scent after a certain time, which makes you stop perceiving it while others still do.
"This can happen with perfumes you use often, especially if you apply them on yourself. To test if your perfume actually lasts, you can ask someone close to you to smell you after a few hours."
Noseblindness is completely natural and does not affect the actual longevity of the perfume or your health.
14. What is the difference between a dupe and an original perfume?
A dupe is a perfume that is inspired by an exclusive and expensive original scent but at a much lower price. It is about getting the same scent experience as the expensive perfume, but without paying for the brand name or packaging. A dupe is often created with the same fragrance notes as the original and can be just as long-lasting and intense.
The difference between a dupe and an original perfume lies in the fact that a dupe is not a brand name, but rather a version of the scent. Thus, you avoid paying for the well-known brand and packaging, but still get to experience the same fragrance on the skin. Many dupes are designed to provide the same feel and quality as the original perfume, making them an affordable alternative for those who want a similar scent experience without paying the high price.
15. How do I apply perfume for the best longevity?
For best durability, apply perfume on well-moisturized skin, preferably after a shower. Focus on pulse points such as wrists, neck, behind the ears, and the insides of the elbows, where the heat helps the scent to develop.
"Do not rub in the perfume, as it can break down the scent molecules and affect the longevity. A light spray on clothes can also help the scent linger longer, but avoid sensitive fabrics."
Where do your perfumes come from?
Our perfume oils come from France and they are mixed with ethanol from Sweden.
Where are your perfumes produced?
Our perfumes are handcrafted and packed from our warehouse in Orminge.
